On the brilliant peak of Mount Kailaash – under huge canopy of a tree on seat of tiger
skin this dialogue between Shankar and Paarvati was going on. Just a while ago from the
churning of the ocean, the clash which had ensued from the coming forth of amrut –
elixir of life – to settle their differences the Lord had taken the form of Mohini
(Enchanting female form). On that subject the Lord of yoga Shankar was inclining in
favour of non-enchantment.
Sadaa-shiva said: ―It is no surprise that the unprecedented can happen – it is weakness.
When a sense controlled one gets enchanted, then rather than the strength of the
enchantment, it is the weakness of the sense control which is the cause of it. You are
describing the enchant of the Mohini form to the Lord who burnt to ashes of Kaamdev,
lest you forget.‖
―Forgive me Lord,‖ said Mahaadevi, ― to destroy someone is one thing, to get victory
over someone is another. Suppose if that Mohini form of Bhagwaan Vishnu comes before
you now, then even you will be moved, that is what I believe.‖
―Daughter of Mountain‖, said Bhagwaan Shankar while adjusting with his hand the
tilting crescent of moon on his head: ―When you are obstinate, then you become firm like
your father. But when you loose the argument, then you again become soft. Whether the
devas, demons and the three worlds get enchanted by the Mohini form, it is impossible
for me to be enchanted by it.‖
―Lord, do not be angry. Your great anger will not be the devourer of the enchantment but
rather the protector. Even Vishnu gets enchanted by the Mohini form, you are only
another entity.‖
―Really?‖ the Lord‘s anger dissipated. With a soft smile he said: ―Mahaadevi, even after
looking at the Mohini form, I wil not be enchanted by it – I will prove it to you. To the
destroyer of Kaamdev, what will that poor enchantment do to Shankar?‖
Saying thus he was alighting the jewel studded steps. The reflection from the crescent of
the moon in hair lock of his head was shining electrified in the waters of the lake.
―O Lord of lords, please do wait‖, said Paarvatiji from a distance. ―If you will permit I
would also like to join you to view the enchanting form of Mohini.‖
―Very well‖, said Lord Shankar without any intention to return. ―I cannot stop your wish
to observe from a distance.‖
And just like the crack of lightening flashes through dark clouds, the Mahaa-maayaa
cosmic Mother Paarvati hastily accompanied Shankar and reached the world of
Vainkunth.
―Welcome O Dev of the Devas!‖ said the welcoming Bhagwaan with a smile at the
entrance of Vaikunth. And holding Bhagwaan Shankar‘s hand led him into the divine
abode.
Past the appropriate welcoming ritual, Bhagwaan Vishnu seated on the rest chair asked:
―Pray Bhagwaan, tell me reason for your coming this suddenly.‖
―Just to see you‖, said Shankar in short.
―You could have done so in your meditation with ease. I also when I desire to contact
you, then I satisfy by meditating on you.‖
―But I desire to have the vision of your Mohini form – the form which enchanted thirty
three crore Devas! I have not seen that form at all, so how can I meditate to see that
form?‖
